We explored how Lactobacillus reuteri affects regurgitation and gastric emptying in infants suffering from gastroesophageal reflux. By following 42 infants for 30 days, with some receiving the probiotic and others a placebo, we witnessed notable results.
Infants taking Lactobacillus reuteri showed significantly reduced episodes of regurgitation and faster gastric emptying. This probiotic appears to ease discomfort related to reflux, offering parents a potential solution to this common issue.

We aimed to explore the effectiveness of a specific probiotic mixture called Ecologic®Relief in treating constipation among pregnant women. Over four weeks, participants reported significant improvements in their bowel habits, including increased defecation frequency and reduced sensations of obstruction and incomplete evacuation.
Importantly, we noted that the probiotic mixture also seemed to decrease reflux episodes from 60% to 20%. This suggests that not only does Ecologic®Relief help with constipation, but it may also provide relief from reflux symptoms during pregnancy. We believe more extensive studies will be beneficial to confirm these findings.

Probiotic supplement alleviates GERD symptomsEfficacy of a Food Supplement Containing LA14, Peptides, and a Multivitamin Complex in Improving Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease-Related Outcomes and Quality of Life of Subjects Showing Mild-to-Moderate Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.
High relevance to GERD treatment
We investigated the impact of a dietary supplement containing lactobacillus acidophilus, bioactive peptides, and vitamins on individuals with mild-to-moderate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Conducted as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, we followed fifty-six adults over 28 days.
Participants reported a significant reduction in heartburn frequency and severity with the active supplement compared to the placebo. They also noted a decreased reliance on over-the-counter medications and improved quality of life. Overall, this supplement appears to bring meaningful relief to those struggling with GERD symptoms.

We investigated the effects of Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 on feeding tolerance and growth in preterm infants. In a study with 114 formula-fed infants, we divided participants into two groups—one receiving the probiotic and the other receiving no treatment.
Results showed fewer reflux episodes in the group taking probiotics, along with quicker feeding tolerance and improved growth markers. However, no significant differences were observed in infection rates. Overall, Lactobacillus reuteri appears beneficial for feeding tolerance and growth in preterm infants.

Infant reflux improvements with treatmentEffect of a Partially Hydrolysed Whey Infant Formula Supplemented with Starch and Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 on Regurgitation and Gastric Motility.
High relevance for infant health
We explored how a specially formulated infant formula containing Lactobacillus reuteri (DSM 17938) affects regurgitation and gastric motility in babies struggling with functional regurgitation.
In a well-structured randomized controlled trial, infants took a test formula for four weeks, allowing us to measure changes in their gastric emptying rate and regurgitation frequency.
The results were promising: infants on the test formula experienced a significant decrease in daily regurgitations compared to the control group, highlighting the potential benefits of this formulation for managing reflux in infants.
